The world is in a scary state. With recent natural disasters and political turmoil at an all time high, we should all be thinking about how to serve those in need.

It just so happens that a lot of people in my circle are moving very soon, or have just moved.

Some are moving a few blocks away to a space without a single closet. Others are jumping across the pond to a new continent, facing huge cultural shifts. And yet another is making the may-jah costal move from NYC to LA.

All of these friends have one thing in common: they’ve told me they need to take a serious look at what they own, and get real about what they should bring along as they embark upon a new journey.
